TUBULAR LANTERN.

EPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 859,993, dated March29, 1887.

Application filed June '28, 1886. Serial No. 206,514. (No model.)Patented in Canada February 22, 1885, No. 23,475.

To all whom it may concerri:

Be it known that we, WALTER Scorr BURN and EARNEST SCHULTZ, both of thecity of Hamilton, in the county of Wentworth, in the Province ofOntario, Dominion of Canada, have jointly invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Tubular Lanterns; and we do hereby declare thatthe following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construetion and operation of the same.

The invention consists of the several novel features of construction andcombination of parts hereinafter fully set forth, and definitelyspecified in the claims following this specifi cation.

By reference to the drawings forming part of this specification it willbe seen that Figure 1 represents an elevation of our improved tubularlantern. Fig. 2 is a side view of one of the hooks. Fig. 3 is a sectionof tube and wire guide. Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the lantern. Fig.5 is a top view of the plate secured on the top of the air-chamber.

A represents the base of the lantern; B B, the side tubes; G, thecentral air-chamber; D, the circular flange surrounding the air-chamher,and on which it slides vertically.

1*] E are the broad metal hooks riveted to the under side of the flangeD and turned inward at their extreme ends, as at a a, to catch on theunder side of the head I) of the globe F.

G is the wire draw-bar, both ends being secured to the flange D, and,passing upward on each side of the air chamber 0, passes through theopenings (1 d in the side projeetions, 0, in the plate H, covering thetop of the air-chamber, an d bent into asp ring thumbring, 0, over thesaid air-chamber C. It will be noticed that the said draw-bar G has twolong upper bends, ff, and two shorter bends, g g, the latter being forthe purpose of acting as stops to hold the globe up when elevated, andthe top ones for assisting to keep the globe in its place when it andits disk are resting on the collar of the burner.

J is the wire globe-holder, secured to the flange D, then bent downwardand made to encircle the top of the globe above the bead,

and again bent upward, passes through an opening in the flangesufilcientl y high for the thumb of the operator to press it upward torelease the globe from it when desired to remove the said globe.

K K are upwardly-bent wires on each side of the globe and are fastenedto the disk I; and i are the horizontal bars or wires secured to each ofthe said vertically-inclined wires K. The one marked i is the hook,which is hinged to one of the said wires t at the point 3 and hookedinto a loop on another one at the point 4. This is simply nnhooked whenthe globe is required to be removed.

L L are the wire guides, made to encompass the horizontal portion of thetubes B B and pass up parallel to the tubes about three and a halfinches, are then bent at right angles and affixed to the tubes, as shownat Figs. 1 and 3.

j is a wire j utting out horizontally from the perforated disk I, andmay be, preferably, the ends of the wires K, bent outward to slidebetween the wire guides L L on each side of the globe, respectively. Bythis means the lower portion of the globe is held from swing ing when itis elevated above the. burner, as shown in Fig. 4, for any purposewhatever.

In operating the lantern when it requires lighting, the operator placesone hand on the lantern and grasps the ring 0 with the other and raisesit, which draws up the flange l) on the air-tube chamber 0, and by thehooks E, attached to the flange D, the globe F is raised above theburner, as shown in Fig. 3, when the wick is trimmed and lighted. Theglobe is prevented from falling out by means of the wires K K v? z l t"and kept steady in a vertical position by the wire guides L L and pins jj.

Having thus described our device and its advantages, what we claim asour invention 1s-- 1. The combinatioinwith a tubular lantern, of thedisk or flange D, the disk I, globe F, wires K K and i i i, hook i,globe-holdcr J, and hooks E, substantially as described.

2. The combination,with a tubular lantern,

of the disk or flange D, the globe-ho1der J, Dated at Hamilton, Ontdrio,Canada, this hooks Hair-tube G, draw-bar G,having bends 36. day ofApril,i1S86.

f f and g g, plate H, having openings d d, V S BURN globe F, disk I,having Wiresjj,and guides L, A E d 5 substantially as described.

3. The combination, with the disk I, of the In presence of- Wires K, thewires 1' i 2', hook z", and globe F, AMILIUS JARVIS,

substantially as described. H. R. SAYERS.
